sedumdak hotel Mitland

Sustainability

Since 2012, Hotel Mitland has proudly carried the Golden Green Key certification, the highest international recognition for sustainable businesses in the tourism and recreation sector. This award confirms our commitment to sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), making us one of the greenest hotels in Utrecht.

Our environmentally friendly choices

Our environmentally friendly choices can be found throughout the hotel. For example, green sedum roofs provide natural insulation, and we collect organic waste in a special pit that generates biogas. We have replaced standard lighting with energy-efficient LED lamps, which consume less power and last longer. We also have 464 solar panels and charging stations for eight electric cars. Even the coffee is consciously chosen: we serve sustainable coffee from De Koffiejongens.

How can you contribute to our sustainable story?

As a guest, you play an important role in this sustainable story. You can easily contribute by, for example, reusing your towels or turning off the heating when leaving your room. Thanks to the smart room key, the (LED) lighting automatically turns off when you leave.

Mitland's green backyard

Our attention to sustainability extends beyond the walls of the hotel. Located next to a protected nature reserve, we feel strongly connected to the green environment. In collaboration with the Municipality of Utrecht and the Voorveldse Polder Foundation, we invest in the preservation and enhancement of biodiversity in the adjacent park, a beloved spot for walkers, cyclists, and runners.

Help me prevent waste and receive a voucher

Unique to this project is that our guests can also participate. Those who forgo room or room service during a longer stay not only help save resources but also financially support the foundation. As a thank you, we offer a free drink in our restaurant or bowling alley. If the voucher is not used, we donate an additional amount. In this way, small choices directly contribute to a greener Utrecht, with tangible improvements for nature and the community around our hotel.
